Iron Road is a short tournament that starts with 4 vs. 4 elimination matches in the first round. However, eliminations carry over into the next round for advancing sides. At the end of the road, the remaining members on the last team will fight each other for a shot at the IJPW World Wrestling Championship in the Battle Bash main event at the Tokyo Dome.
The current IJPW World Wrestling Champion is John Scroggs. He will choose his own challenger if he wins Iron Road.
